The tech world is buzzing with news that could reshape the foldable landscape, and it is centered on Samsung's potential game-changing approach for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Instead of following the usual script, Samsung is exploring a custom 2nm Snapdragon processor tailored to clamshell needs. Not just raw power. The everyday stuff that trips flip phones up.

When you think about your living room setup, you probably imagine a straightforward equation: couch plus remote plus streaming service equals entertainment time. Google is reportedly working on flipping that script, turning your TV from a passive screen into something closer to a personal AI film studio. Why TV interfaces? Because the living room is where families gather, a natural spot for voice-first creative tools that do not require technical expertise.

When you think about smartwatches, the biggest frustration is not really about features or battery life anymore, it is what happens when something breaks. Drop your watch and crack the screen? Time to buy a new one. Battery starts dying after two years? Another $400 down the drain. Google just changed that with the Pixel Watch 4. About time.

Ever wondered what happens when Google yanks a beloved feature into a new shape and leaves everyone scrambling for a fix? That is exactly what is happening with Google Maps Timeline, and the community response has been nothing short of impressive.

You know that feeling when you realize you've been paying way more for something than you actually need? That's exactly what's happening to millions of Google One subscribers right now. Between deliberately confusing interface designs that hide downgrade options and a growing maze of subscription tiers, Google's cloud storage service now feels less like a straightforward subscription and more like a trap.

The Pixel Watch 4 has completely changed how I use a smartwatch, and it comes down to one standout feature that reshapes how I interact with wearable tech. Google’s latest watch feels like a leap, not a step, in both functionality and user experience.

We're living through a fascinating transformation in how we interact with our everyday apps. Google's latest move might be the most significant yet.

The October security update from Google just hit Pixel devices, and while it's bringing welcome relief to ongoing display headaches, there's a notable absence this time.

Thinking you need to return your $999 phone or wait months for a fix? You don't.

Google's latest smartwatch lands like a pivot point for wearables. After three generations of inching forward, the Pixel Watch 4 finally tackles the big complaints that kept Google's watch on the bench. This is not a quiet spec bump. It is a top to bottom rethink that hits battery life, repairability, and connectivity, then adds features that reset expectations for what a watch can do.

Google's latest foldable device marks a real pivot for the company, durability and practicality over sleekness. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold tightens up build quality, battery life, and weather resistance, though it trades some design finesse and performance to get there. A redesigned hinge seals things up while keeping the big-screen tricks people buy foldables for. At $1,799, it lands as a cheaper ticket into the premium foldable club, according to Tom's Guide.

Google's latest smartwatch has arrived, and it's making serious waves in the Android ecosystem.

Looking at the sticker price for American Express's Platinum card, you'd expect some pretty impressive perks when you're shelling out nearly $900 annually. Free airport lounge access? Absolutely. Hotel upgrades and solid dining credits? You bet. What you probably wouldn't expect is that one of the "premium" features you're paying for is the ability to make your mobile app a slightly darker shade of blue.

When I first heard about a premium Android gaming handheld selling for just $329, I'll admit I was skeptical. The handheld market has been cooking for a while, with devices regularly hitting $400 to $600. Then I dug into the AYN Odin 2 Portal and paused. For that price, it packs serious kit. The hardware pairs with a large OLED display that delivers exceptional visual quality, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor remains a powerhouse for emulation even if it is a generation behind. This is not...

The Google Pixel 9a has been making waves in the budget smartphone arena, and for good reason. The timing couldn't be better for a significant discount on what many consider the standout budget device of 2025. Google managed to capture a notable 3% US market share in Q2 2025, shipping 800,000 units with a solid 13% year-over-year increase (according to Accio). This growth trajectory positioned the Pixel brand as the fourth-largest US smartphone brand, outpacing competitors like TCL which saw a...

The automotive infotainment world has been watching Android Auto's steady evolution from a simple phone-mirroring service into something much more ambitious. When Google launched the platform in 2014 with basic connectivity to Google's core services, few could have predicted it would eventually reach over 100 million vehicles worldwide and support more than 500 different car models, according to 9to5Google. The latest chapter in this evolution is especially telling. Google recently expanded the...
